VIVOTEK - Built with Reliability

162 - User's Manual

On this page, you can configure the system to consecutively display (rotate) cameras' view cells

on the Liveview window. For example, if you have 8 cameras in 2 2x2 layouts, the rotation can

let you see the live views of all cameras by every few seconds.

You can also enable or disable the Alarm notification.
